Mostly there are just problems with the quest log, I think (like the Raanaar quests not showing up properly). After talking to Tax (ie once you have freedom to go wherever you want), head north west a little bit to the temple complex and explore there first (click the message board 4 times). That should avoid glitches with finding quest items before getting the quest, though even in that case dropping the item and talking to the NPC is usually enough to trigger the quest option.

thanks.

couple of other questions as i clean out the bf dungeons. i've been saving a rannar (sp?) armour set but now realize i can't really use it. should i go ahead and sell it or do i need it for later (like the guard armour)? also, any links to where i can find out more about item sets? i've picked up a couple of pieces of the wizard set but have no idea if it's worth my time or what constitutes a full set. thanks.

Sets give no bonus and change during act change. You don't need the Raanaar armour - you'll need a disguise armour, but the DK will inform.

Last thing => don't search for BF key 5, is missing in Act 3.

Wizard Set
Zandalor's Wings - Shadow Boots (only found this once in Act 3, very early version - no clue where, not sure, if they still exist)
Emerald Ring - Zandalor's Eye (Act 3)
Robe Armor - Zandalor's Skin (Act 2)
Oak Wand - Zandalor's Inferno (Act 2)

The stuff I found worth my trouble in Act 3 was:

Ironskin Plate armour (Riddler)
Long Bow Eradicator
Marksman's Rapid Shot (comp. bow)
Bone Helmet - headbone had luck 33
2-h. axe - Decapitator

because I didn't visit the BF for better equipment in the dungeons.

Do you wish a complete list of set/uniques in Act 3?

Chud, a word of warning => don't enter the church catacombs, until you have fulfilled every subquest <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
******************
Ranger Set/Act
Marksman's Rope - Spiked Belt 3
Marksman's Cloak - Studded Leather 3

Bone Armor - Spine Bone 3

Fire Set/Act
Chain Armor - King of Fire 2

More specifically, on act change set and unique equipment is renamed, but the stats remain the same. This name change does allow you to sell the equipment, however, since in the act they are found these items do not show up in the trade window.

The other quests should show up after you have talked to the NPC mentioned in each notice.
